Providing friendly, expert residential service to the Lincoln, NE area. Our service area in general extends to about 25 miles from our location in south Lincoln.
Carpet Cleaning
Specializing In Residential Carpet Care
We use hot water extraction cleaning for a deep down clean. Our 9-Step process and attention to detail ensures a thorough cleaning and fast dry.
Upholstery Cleaning
Don't Ignore Your Fabric Furniture!
The IICRC generally recommends professional cleaning of upholstery about every 18 months, depending on use. We are certified in proper cleaning methods.
Rug Cleaning
We clean your rugs in home for your convenience...
Let us help with your area rug cleaning. It's a good idea to clean your oriental rugs, wool rugs and synthetic fiber rugs on a regular basis.
Protectant Application
Let's Protect Your Investment!
Your carpet was chosen with careful thought, and is a large investment for your home. Cleaning your carpet is very important for your health, by removing environmental pollutants such as smoke, smog, nicotine, exhaust fumes and soil which will make your carpet wear much faster.
After properly cleaning and treating your carpet, rugs or upholstery, we can apply our advanced, quality protectant to these items. This invisible coating will greatly help protect against soiling and spills.
Pet Stain & Odor Treatment
We all love our pets, but ...
Pet accidents?
Let us help... we have a few tricks to tackle stains and odor from your dog and cat related issues. It's always best to deal with these accidents ASAP.
Can we fix it?
Maybe. Let's use a realistic approach with our expectations. I would rather under-promise and over-deliver rather than promise too much. But that said, I have had a lot of success with these clean-ups. Just be aware that with extensive urine contamination and staining, only so much can be done.
Specialty Spot Removal
"Stuff" happens...
Spot or Stain?
A stain is generally a color change in the carpet or upholstery fabric. It is not removable by cleaning.
A spot may or may not be a stain. We employ a number of different specialty spot treatment agents designed to remove many different “stains” from rust and red stains to grease and many others.
Can We Fix It?
Maybe. It is really difficult to know by looking at a spot. We can evaluate and work on the spot to see what will happen, often with great success. Here is a resource for you for some spot removal tips if you want to try your hand at spot removal.

Owner Operated
IICRC Certified Cleaning
No Worries!
You get professional, personalized and caring service so you have no worries. Proper cleaning by an IICRC Certified cleaning technician - the owner.
Certified Firm
Dry Advantage Carpet Care is a Certified Firm that adhers to the requirements of being insured and having certified cleaning technicians on each job. As such, I am IICRC certifed in carpet cleaning and upholstery cleaning and maintain my proficiency and knowledge via continuing education.
Dries Fast
We get it - you want your carpet dry ASAP!
Dry Advantage - Yes, it is in our name...
We don't mean to confuse you. Our process is not technically "dry" like using a dry powder. We use hot water extraction for the best deep cleaning you can get. This is often referred to as "steam cleaning" your carpet and is recognized for being the most thorough method of cleaning and recommended by most carpet manufacturers.
It's About The Equipment & Process
To pull off this faster dry time, basically it comes down to using equipment and process to avoid over-wetting. When practical, we also use a carpet fan to deliver a high volume of air flow to aid in dry time.
How Long to Dry?
Of course this depends on many factors, including temperature, humidity and air flow, the type of carpet and nap, etc. In general, carpet is fairly dry within several hours and mostly dry given overnight to dry.
Exact Appointments
Where is that guy?
I Value Your Time
When we schedule a time, I plan to show up at that time. Usually that means I'll be there no more than a few minutes early or late.
Sorry, I'm Not Perfect
Of course, I'm not perfect, so I may get delayed by weather or traffic or other unforseen events. An occassional cleaning appointment may take longer than anticipated and delay my arrival for your appointment.
If so, I sincerely apologize. But I'll try to not leave you hanging wondering where I am. If I get behind schedule for some reason, I will call or text with an update to let you know.
Safe For Kids & Pets
No Worries - We Love Kids & Pets!
Our carpet and upholstery cleaning process is non-toxic and safe for you children and pets.
"Common Sense" Safety
We do ask that you take a few precautions during and after our visit ...
- During the cleaning it is best to keep children and pets away from the area being cleaned if possible. We love kids and pets, just not underfoot! This will help me to work safely and prevent distractions and mishaps.
- Be aware that damp carpets can lead to a slip hazards, especially when going from the carpet to hard flooring... so slow down and use rugs as necessary to keep feet or shoes dry until the carpet becomes dry.
No Dirt Attracting Residue
How we help keep your carpet clean longer...
Our cleaning process leaves your carpet & upholstery sparkling clean with no residue – so it will stay clean longer.
Won't Cleaning Just Lead to It Getting Dirty Faster?
Though once true, this is mostly just a "wive's tale" now. By using only professional, top of the line cleaning agents and products provided by leading industry suppliers, this is not much of an issue anymore. Advances in cleaning chemistry and technology result in very little residue, unless the cleaner is choosing to cut corners with cheaper products (not us!).
Another reason for resoiling is spot treating without sufficient rinse. Having an IICRC certified cleaner (like me for instance) do the work should prevent this issue.

What Our Customers Say
There's A Reason Why Our Company Is So Highly Rated
Dara Dirrim
Lincoln, NE
"I initially contacted Dry Advantage Carpet Care after seeing an ad promising quick-drying carpet (because of my young children, it was important to me to not have to worry about keeping them off wet carpeting). Not only did the carpet dry quickly, it was spotless! We were quite impressed. I continue to call on Mr. Kramer because he is courteous, timely, and works hard to get our carpets looking new again. And, because his service is so affordable, we can have our carpets cleaned several times a year."

I was especially pleased with the drying time and I was able to arrange my furniture in no time. The technician (Rod) was super nice and was pleasant to have in our home. I would definitely recommend him and his services."
